Motor operated valves are valves that are actuated by electric motors. Motor operated valves are generally large valves used in different kinds of operations. Due to the large size of the valve actuator, an electric motor is needed to open or close a valve.
MOVs can be either on/off type or control type. On/off type MOVs are either open or closed, while control type MOVs can modulate the flow rate. Motor operated valves can be used for both liquid and gas service.
MOVs are found in various industries including oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment. Some common applications for MOVs include controlling the flow of crude oil, natural gas, steam and water.
Motor operated valves can be actuated manually in the event of a power outage or other emergency. Motor operated valves must be installed by qualified personnel to ensure they are installed correctly and meet all satety standards.
